Earlier this year, an adorable yellow Lab named Susan completed a CIA training program for detection K9s. She was a natural at sniffing out concealed explosivesthink car bombs and suicide vestsand the agency was eager to put her to work protecting its personnel.
James Clapper, who had sponsored Susan through a nonprofit organization that helps place service dogs, was delighted. Clapper, 84, was one of the longest-serving and most experienced intelligence officers in U.S. history, and was the Director of National Intelligence in the Obama administration. There was a certain professional symmetry in his pup ending up at the CIA, a place he both knew intimately and deeply admired. It was also bittersweet: Clapper named Susan after his late wife, a former National Security Agency employee who had been at his side during his five-decade career.
Clapper was looking forward to attending the dogs graduation ceremony at a CIA training facility in Herndon, Virginia. But the day before the event, in late May, he received an email from the nonprofit dog-training group: Clappers name had been scratched from the guest list, per an executive order from the president of the United States.

CIA officials interpreted Trumps order to mean that Clapper should be barred from even setting foot on agency property. The agency conveyed that message to the nonprofit, which had invited Clapper to attend the ceremony, a representative with the organization told me. (The CIA itself declined to comment on the Clapper snub.)

is attending a service dog graduation ceremony?
Putin is getting his moneys worth out of installing Trump in order to hurt America and
cause social divisions.

(74,875 posts)They (Trump, Musk, and the Doge boys) have already killed 300,000 Africans with their cuts to USAID.
The mathematician and professor of infectious diseases at Boston University had created a model to predict the human cost of the Department of Government Efficiencys (Doge) USAid funding cuts.

What Nichols had not appreciated was what was killing people, and just how quickly it appeared to be killing them. A death was estimated to be happening somewhere in the world every three minutes. It was just shocking, she said.
As Elon Musk, the head of Doge, arrived at the White House on Friday afternoon to be congratulated by President Trump for his work slashing the federal budget, the number of deaths on Nicholss tracker hit 300,000, more than 200,000 of them children.
**********
Their racism is on full on display.
They would rather let the food rot or burn it than give it to black people in Africa. This is not only
Trumps racism but also Elon Musks South Afrikaner beliefs too. They also let tens of thousands of
of kits that keep starving people from dying from diarrhea go to waste too. Hell, they are just n*****s.
I wonder if Trumps Christian supporters understand that their Jesus was black.
These are Pol Pot, Hitler, and Stalin type of #s.

(63,064 posts)djt would read such a detailed memo and list. Someone pointed out Clapper's name. That person is also due some negative publicity and targeting as a petty, vindictive ass.
